Opportunity awaits with this remarkable historic home, where timeless craftsmanship meets modern improvements. Rich in character, this spacious home showcases beautiful original oak woodwork, coffered ceilings, built-in cabinetry, wainscoting, hardwood floors, and impressive millwork that simply can’t be replicated today. The home has already undergone interior demolition, exposing the original framing and allowing the next owner to customize the floor plan while preserving its historic charm. Original hardwood floors remain throughout much of the home, offering an incredible foundation for restoration. Major exterior and infrastructure updates have already been completed, including updated electrical service in both the home and detached garage, a new front porch, new fencing, and a new garage door. The detached garage also features a durable metal roof, while the home’s roof appears to be in good condition, providing added value as you complete the renovation. Large rooms, tall ceilings, and abundant natural light create an ideal canvas for a stunning restoration. Situated on a deep city lot, this property offers endless possibilities for investors, contractors, or anyone with a passion for bringing historic homes back to life. If you’ve been searching for a home with irreplaceable architectural details and the opportunity to build equity through renovation, this is the one. Bring your vision and transform this classic beauty into a spectacular showpiece. Sold as-is.
Columbus Avenue, located between Downtown Bay City and the Saginaw River, is a residential and commercial Bay City neighborhood with a walkable main drag and a classic Midwestern streetscape. The character concentrates along Columbus Avenue near Center Avenue, where storefronts, corner bars, and service shops keep the sidewalks active. Early-20th-century houses and small apartment buildings sit behind mature trees, while brick facades and painted signs give the corridor a lived-in look. Wenonah Park and the Riverwalk set a waterside rhythm for daily routines. Delta College Planetarium adds a cultural anchor close by. Side streets stay quieter, with porches and compact lots shaping the block-by-block feel.
